Liam Gillick: Concrete, production, practice and ethics.
About this episode
In Episode 15 of A is for Architecture, I speak with artists and writer Liam Gillick. We start with concrete, move to St Peter’s Seminary, Cardross by Gillespie Kidd and Coia and then sort of let it run, discussing the architectural qualities - spatial and programmatic and critical - of his work. We touch on three pieces Liam has written - Should Be, We Lived and Thought Like Pigs and Why Work? – and talk about the value of art education as an exercise in learning to see. And a lot of other things.
- Should Be – Organizational Pathways Restated (2019)
- We Lived and Thought Like Pigs – Gilles Chatelêt’s Devastating Prescience (2019)
- Why Work? (2010)
